Eric Hammond replied to John Dowling's discussion 'Cost of wholesale roasted beans.....?' in the group Coffee Shops

Brady, thank you for the response. You made a great point about the opening week needing the higher capacity. I would imagine the opening week, as a first impression, would be critical in putting a shop's best step (and product) forward to encourag…
